from William Houston of the Globe and Mail,
When NBC makes a decision on its future with the NHL, the other pieces related to U.S. television will fall into place.
NBC has a window of about two months to say yes or no to next season. And its decision could determine whether ESPN will return as a carrier of NHL games.
Will NBC renew for 2008-09?
The case for NBC renewal is to maintain a relationship with the NHL and keep hockey on the network as a lead-up to coverage of the Winter Olympics hockey tournament in 2010.
The argument against includes low ratings. NBC’s numbers at this point last season weren’t good.
